CoW Swap – DEX Aggregator Review

Score: 63.75/100. MEV-capturing intents, hit twice on the edges (solver exploit, DNS hijack), core protocol unbreached both times.

Score: 61/100. Rebranded from ParaSwap; a DAO vote split 49.56%-49.54% on returning Bybit-hack-linked fees says a lot.

Score: 69/100. Cleanest incident record we found in this whole series, undercut only by just two disclosed audits.

Score: 63.5/100. Dual aggregator+AMM; the Nov 2023 Elastic exploit left the aggregator itself confirmed unaffected.

Score: 51/100. Lowest in this sub-series: two 2022 hacks and unresolved, wide gaps in its own claimed audit scope.

Score: 78/100. Highest score in this whole project: ~95% Solana share, with the one 2024 phishing incident purely user-side.

Score: 75/100. Category-defining aggregator; a Mar 2025 resolver incident (~$5M) didn’t touch user funds, but did touch trust.

Score: 65/100. Sui’s well-audited leader, with a real TVL decline and a neighbor’s $223M hack prompting a security gut-check.

Score: 62/100. Sophisticated cross-margin trading, reviewed mid-migration to a new chain with conflicting founder accounts.
